Canon 60D Cinematic Video Tips 

Love to hear it. Thanks for taking the time to watch one of my vids!

Dude I love to hear that! What are you using the camera for?

I couldn’t agree more! I owe all my success to the 60D, thanks for watching Marc!

That’s sweet, I’m glad you’re going for it, well worth it! Thanks for watching.

Thanks so much, I really appreciate that!

Thanks for taking the time to watch one of my videos!

Glad I could help! Hope you’ve had fun with the camera over the years!

I appreciate you taking the time to watch one of my videos!

Going to get back into it this month, keep an eye out!

No problem I’m glad I could help out!

Thanks a ton I appreciate it!

Appreciate you sharing input man! Yeah I always think using the magnification button is the better option but for some lenses being able to zoom in as well works great, but thanks for clearing up that point for people!

Hey thanks it really helps a ton, I’m super glad to hear I think it will be great for you! I appreciate you subscribing it means a lot

Just got one too!

Glad to hear it, I think you’ll really like it!!

Hey thanks so much for watching! If you ever have any questions feel free to ask here or on Instagram!

Hey I just want to say I really appreciate your support on each of my videos it truly mean a lot to me that you enjoy the content I make, thank you. I’ve been really interested in trying out a flexible tripod, I have little experience with them but they seem like solid options and I believe they would work fairly well to help stabilize footage when holding it. I’ll have to look into one sometime and let you know how it goes!

@@thejacobbunn Awesome I will be looking forward to your next video 👍👍👍👍👍

That’s super awesome! I’m glad I could help you make the decision I think you’ll love the camera!

me too :D

Just got mine today😤😤😤

What are you going to shoot?!

@@thejacobbunn creative content in general, music videos (everybody and they're mom raps where im at, in tampa fl lol), challenges, current events, behind the scenes wit my friends doing shows and recording songs in the studio and now since im in Tampa i wanna try a mini movie since the bucs hosting they're own super bowl !!

Dude I appreciate it so much, and Nepal?! That’s sweet. I’m from Oregon in the US!

Thanks a lot I really appreciate it! I’m actually really tempted to do a video on the 80d. I don’t own one at the moment but know someone who does so I may borrow it for a similar video! For filming the 80d is better because it can shoot 60 FPS, where the 60d can only do 30 FPS. If you’re not trying to spend a lot I think the 60d is more than capable and you can put money into lenses, but if you have the extra money the 80d is essentially a upgraded 60d. It shoots 24.2 megapixel photos has better AF, and the main thing I’d consider is the 60 fps for video. On the other hand though I’ve shot 30 fps and 24 fps and still get great results, just depends where you want to invest your money, both are pretty great!

Hey thanks again man! I use the Ronin-S stabilizer, haha and thanks he’s a funny guy, he’s actually a pug! I use Final Cut Pro to edit all my videos!

Hey no problem thanks for taking the time to watch!!

Hey Suzy thanks for watching! Yeah that is definitely one of the struggles with the 60D shooting alone. I recommend putting something where you will be standing to get your focus on first (for example I put a lamp or a chair where I’ll be sitting or standing) then I move it out of the way and have my focus!

No problem thanks for taking the time to watch a video of mine!

Hey thanks I appreciate it!

No problem Alex, thanks for watching the vid my man 🤘

Thanks man! I appreciate you taking the time to watch it

No worries thanks for watching Keith

Haha yes! Thanks for watching one of my videos

Love it there! It was just an incredible sunset this summer, so cool

Thanks again for watching!

That’s awesome to hear, you’ll really enjoy it. Yeah I personally use Snapseed on my phone to edit most photos but I’ve also used Lightroom some! For video editing I use Final Cut Pro X. If you’re looking for a free video editor hit film express is really solid. Thanks for watching

Thank you for the response! That really helps 😊

Hey thanks so much for the kind words I really do appreciate it! That’s awesome, I think the 60d would be a good option for shooting a video for your client. I use the flip out lcd a lot, personally I think HitFilm Express is a really solid option for free. I would say though with editing software there is a bit of a learning curve so I’d give yourself an extra day to edit and get used to the editor. For exporting I’d stick with 1920x1080, 24FPS, and export it as a .mp4 or .mov, hope this helps!!

@@thejacobbunn Thank you Jacob! I will give Hitfilm Express a go but I am (learned from experience...) always very careful where I download these kinds of programs from. Would you please be able to link to the 'right' place to download this software from? Thank you so much in advance!

@@thejacobbunn Thank you Jacob. Can I ask what the difference in in fps is for 24, 25 or 30? I am an Denmark (Europe) and I am not sure which is the better for me?

Yeah so the FPS is frames per second and most movies are 24 FPS it’s usually the standard because this looks the most natural to the human eye. All my timelines when editing are 24 FPS but for example sometimes I’ll shoot “b-roll” footage at 30 FPS so I can slow it down in editing. So in general I’d suggest shooting at 24 FPS for most projects!

Hey thanks a lot I really appreciate it! Yep everything in this video was shot on the canon 60D except for the shots where the camera itself is on screen!

I think the SanDisk 64 gig SDXC SD Extreme is very solid for both! amzn.to/2yVPcOQ

Huh I’ll have to look at the sigma 18-200, haven’t used it before! Plus I love the nifty fifty, thanks for watching

Great question, it’s not always the easiest but I personally set my focal length a bit higher (f/8 for example) to make sure if the distance I keep for the movement isn’t exact they don’t go out of focus and if so it’s just the slightest amount, that way I can always lower it more. It is difficult though especially when shooting in low light, you have to be a lot more accurate with the camera movements than someone using say a camera with spot on autofocus. Potential try attaching your gimbal to a tripod for more stability.

I appreciate it man!

Man I appreciate it! Thanks for taking the time to watch

Nicolas Bodé hey thanks for watching, I personally don’t know of any ways to use the built in flash on the camera during a video, I personally just bought a small light off of amazon that mounts onto the top of the camera, it works fairly well because it’s a dimmable light so personally that’s what I suggest if you’re looking for a similar set up!

I use the Ronin-S and it works great but the Zhiyun Crane 2 is a solid option too

And its work properly if we install battery grip on 60D?

Juang Warlock I’m not 100% sure about the Zhiyun Crane 2 because I haven’t tried it with the battery grip but it will work for the Ronin-S

Franklin I appreciate you brother, thanks for taking the time to watch!

As far as I know you can only save one set of settings in C-Mode

Hey thanks so much for watching, yeah I think I can make a quick one explaining that! Give me a few weeks because I have some posts scheduled but once the video is done I’ll comment so you know! I’ll give the best tips I have for it!

@@thejacobbunn Sure thing. Thanks a lot. You are awesome

Hey thanks for watching, I’d look into getting a usb to sd card reader for your computer! It’s a good solution

ND filter? I use a variable ND on my kit 18-55mm lens for outdoor shoots and it’s great. I’ll send you the link

Yo definitely go for it. It’s still so good especially for this year and the price

@@thejacobbunn yo i did order it, so excited and thanks a lot for the feedback and the videos you have a great channel and i'll stick to see more insightful and creative content in the future and hope the best of luck

Man I’m excited for you it’s so much fun getting a camera! I really appreciate you sticking around, I hope I make some videos you’ll like 🤙

Native video from the 60d! I’ve considered Magic Lantern but still haven’t gotten to it yet

@@thejacobbunn can you do a video on it im hearing if you buy this camera for filming its not really worth the. ML because it doesnt let you record for a good amount of time🤔

You know I will give it a shot and see what I think. If I think it’s valuable I’ll put out a video on it!

Hey thanks for watching! I use the Ronin-S essentials kit. I mainly use it for the stabilization since the 60d is too old for the focus wheel to be compatible. I’ve noticed it really helps to get smooth footage though!

Jacob Bunn 👌thank you

Hey Savannah, yeah I personally put an object like a lamp in the shot where I’ll be standing in the video that way I can focus on the object and then move it out of the shot. This was I have focus for where I’ll be since I can’t really focus it myself! If you want an example of what I’m talking about I show it at 3:17 in this video! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MSJ2IpIT1_A.html

@@thejacobbunn THANK YOU! Definitely a fan of your content & I appreciate you putting things like this out here for people like me. Keep it up!

Savannah Willis hey thanks a lot I really appreciate you saying that!

Yeah I definitely suggest the magnification button first but it’s just another option! Appreciate the input and you taking the time to watch

It’s all up to personal preference, I think a 50mm 1.8 lens is great but also enjoy the 18-55mm kit lens. I suggest use what you have now and then build up the quality of your gear as you can afford it!

Here is a video I made about how to get the most out of the kit lens if you’re interested: 18-55mm Doesn't Suck ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VdMtNPgl7t0.html

Yeah for photos it would be a solid option! For video it may not be the best because it only does 30 FPS but you could still get some nice shots!

Thanks for taking the time to watch! I’d suggest a faster writing memory card, I had this same issue, best of luck.

You know I haven’t but I’ve been looking into it, I am really interested about it, have you used magic lantern before?

Hey Sandy thanks for watching. It should be able to, you might just be in the wrong settings menu. I’d look around more for the 1080 30fps selection in the menus.

Yep! I used the 50mm 1.8 and 18-55mm kit lens

Hey thanks for watching! If I was guessing, you might have a SD card that isn’t fast enough. I’d try a faster card and see if the issue continues

also im just using kit lens

I’d suggest investing in the 50mm 1.8. Shooting at 1.8 allows you to shoot in very little light without noise. Otherwise I’d suggest adding more light to your scene by getting some sort of portable light source!

Hey thanks for watching, I currently only use the: 18-55mm f3.5-5.6, 50mm 1.8, and 75-300mm f4-5.6 I’d say the 50mm is my favorite! I’m looking to try new lenses soon though

@@thejacobbunn Can't agree more on the 50mm. Thanks for sharing btw, really appreciate it!

No worries I always love talking about lenses!

That’s awesome! I think you’re really going to enjoy it

Hey thanks for watching, yes it does!

haha yes! Always hear it said differently but you are right :) Thanks for watching

Hey I know the feeling, I’d suggest you just keep pushing through, try to learn more and test out some different photography, overtime you’ll see the changes in your pics!

It is a fantastic addition! Thanks for watching 😊

I mean it’s not the highest standard for video but it’s not bad at all. I recommend it for how affordable it is, and it’s a great way for people to learn the actual mechanics for videography and filmmaking rather than just relying on autofocus

I think a decond hand model with focus is a much better deal my man

Appreciate the input buddy, it was just my suggestion. There are definitely other great options
